I don't feel a strong moral obligation to do so as I doubt anyone will be leaping gleefully on my ebooks but maybe I should.

This is a response to all (Not just speakingtohe)
Yep, that is one of the prime questions of this thread, and people don't seem to be particularly concerned about ensuring the 'security' of their eproperty on their death. And that I find strange.
I think that doing as much as one can to close down, or wipe one's drives, pc's etc is very important and not just because it's their data and upon death they can't access it again, but because of the potential misuse, including criminal misuse, that could be made of the information/accounts etc. And that in itself is not a legacy that I would want to consider leaving to other family members (or the State) to clean up after me.
It used to be that when one was gone (dead) they were gone, but not so today. Today a digital footprint remains, and will potentially linger for ever, be it good or bad information.
